The Hot Chocolate Circle is centred on creating a safe and supportive environment for girls to navigate their mental health journeys. We understand that mental health challenges can be overwhelming and isolating, and often girls may feel hesitant to seek support. We aim to break down these barriers which is why we have developed a unique approach to supporting girls. By sitting in a circle and sipping hot chocolate, we create a comfortable and safe space for girls to share their experiences, support one another, gain insights and develop practical evidence-based coping strategies to manage their mental health challenges effectively. We aim to build a community of girls who feel empowered to navigate their mental health journeys and equipped with the tools and resources to lead fulfilling lives.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting teenage girls in discovering who they are, staying true to themselves and prioritising their mental and physical wellbeing from a young age. My personal journey through injury, health challenges and identity struggles have shaped my commitment to helping young women build self-awareness, set boundaries and embrace their uniqueness with confidence so they can thrive in their own skin. I have a background in high-performance sports science, health coaching and working within a disability support work company. Alongside that, I’ve developed personal practices for stress-management and hormone balancing like yoga and breathwork through my own self-development and health journey. I aim to guide girls in managing stress, maintaining balance and building resilience early on.

I’m Grace — a girl who loves encouraging others and being someone others can lean on. I’m especially passionate about supporting girls and helping them feel confident, seen, and never alone in what they’re going through.
As someone who’s just graduated high school, I know firsthand how tough it can be to figure out who you are, stay true to yourself, and navigate the pressure that comes with growing up. That’s why I care so deeply about creating space for girls to feel safe, supported, and celebrated just as they are.
Through my own journey with self-worth, identity, and mental health, I’ve learned how powerful it is to have someone cheering you on. My hope is to be that person for others — reminding girls they are enough, just as they are, and encouraging them to embrace their uniqueness with confidence and kindness.
